Artwork: Genta Brahimi, Year 12

Issue 3

Overview What a year it has been! This term, we said goodbye to our wonderful Year 11 and Year 13 artists as many go on to Art ALevel and Art Foundation courses at some of the most prestigious universities across the United Kingdom.

In this final term. We wish to take the opportunity to celebrate the outstanding works of art made by our Key Stage 3, Year 10 and Year 12 students this term. Tackling challenging content, our students have created thought-provoking and introspective outcomes that we cannot wait to share with you.

Year 7 This term, Year 7 explored Brutalism and learned the core practices of design. Students have developed their understanding of technical drawing, with a particular focus on forced perspectives and architecture.

Students began the project practising 3 core perspective techniques; 1 point, 2 point and isometric drawing. They were then able to apply this understanding through a series of technical and experimental drawings before being presented with a design brief.

To design their final Brutalist-inspired buildings, students worked with architectural collage and abstract forms to produce original and interesting outcomes. Students generated a series of schematics relevant to their research into Brutalism and were able to use techniques Architects still use today.

Year 8 This term, Year 8 explored empire and decolonisation, with a particular focus on British history, present and future and the way in which the practice of subjective mapping has revealed hidden invisibilities or truths. Students were introduced a range of different artists, from around the world and from Britain, whose work has addressed ideas around (de)colonisation and the process of map making as a colonial project.

The project culminated with students designing new symbols and commemorative installations as a way to reveal hidden truths about the legacy of the British Empire.

Year 9 This term, Year 9 explored an array of artworks across history to gain a stronger understanding of the shifting contexts behind them. The meaning of artworks are never fixed; what the artist intends and what the viewer understands may be different.

Our individual interpretations of art are rarely the same but shaped by our knowledge, experiences and prejudices. Students unpicked and compared artworks to gain insight into the artists’ intentions, how a work interacts with an audience and how context can shift and evolve over time.

Building upon the portraiture project students completed in Cycle 2 (last term), students experimented by creating a number of auto-biographical and personal work inspired contemporary artists such as Zarina Hashmi, Julie Mehretu and Grayson Perry.

The project culminated with students exploring Expressionism and how a global event (WW1) had a significant impact on peoples lives and subsequently, the style of art at the time. Students created a number of auto-biographical outcomes based upon their emotions over the last year during the pandemic and how their lives and that of the people around them have changed.

Year 10 This term, our Year 10 students explored the theme of ‘Myths and Legends’. Students were introduced to classical mythology and legends from different cultures across the globe to inspire their body of work this term.

Taking inspiration from their research, students produced a number of personal responses of animal hybrids using processes such as lino printing, collage, sculpting and drawing.

Year 12 This term, our Year 12 students embarked on their new projects as they develop their own practice and explore themes that are personal and inspiring to them.

Introduced to a wide array of media and processes, students have the autonomy to experiment, test their ideas out and guide their own projects.

Genta Brahimi Genta is exploring trauma and how we as humans are affected by our experiences.

Psychological conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and inhumane acts of violence in war inspire Genta’s body of work this term as she moves between abstraction and figurative responses.

Jasmine Mokhlisse Jasmine’s project this term is inspired by Minimalism, an extreme form of abstract art typified by artworks composed of simple geometric shapes. Taking inspiration from her critical research and photography, she has produced a body of work exploring the simplicity of form.

Jazmin Rahman Jazmin’s project is focused around repetition and obsessiveness. She has produced a number of experiments exploring a slow decent into madness. At a first glance, her work appears to have order and process but only when you look closer it begins to unravel.

Mohammed Badamasi Mohammed is exploring themes around movement and Futurism in his work, inspired by artists such as Umberto Boccioni and David Bomberg. His responses capture abstracted figures as they are blurred across the picture plane.

Takmina Akhtar Takmina’s work is exploring the human curiosity around the tactility of objects and surfaces. As humans, we use our sense of touch to help understand the world around us. We have a temptation to touch new things we encounter as a form of communication; even if we know they are dangerous such as fire or spikes.
